The best worst headphones ever.

[CliffMiller]

I got the 80’s, put them on a friend’s head, and now he has the 80’s.

Hmm yes

I bought these after watching this video. And now use them for gaming. It's absolutely an amazing experience to play games with that "sound stage" like, hmm footsteps twelve meter to my right?

[Brentastrophe]

Went to their buy page and I see they've put this video as part of their advertising and reviews. That's a badge of honor

earlier today i was like "man i need a new dankpods video" and now i get 2 at once???

You remind me of a parent
“But you where meant to be awful, why am I genuinely enjoying this experience?!”

[TheSergio]

As soon as you said "no, these live hung up in my room so I can grab them easily" my eyebrows went up.

Just bought the 80s because of this vid, and then immediately bought the 60s for my bro for his birthday

I bought the SR80's 20 years ago and would totally buy them again.

I showed this video to my dad who has grados, and he said he was friends with the late founder, and he has been using them since the beginning.

[Platitudinous]

Aw man, I love that the extra vid this week is just him gushing about a pair of headphones he loves ♥

[TheGreenDigi]

Man seeing Frank at the end of every vid just makes me smile so wide, she's so adorable.

I'm not even an audiophile but I really appreciate how you approach this sort of stuff. It's great to see such enthusiastic support for localised companies (I'm not even American, but I mean made in house kinda shit). I'm so tired of big brands- and even some small companies- shipping everything off to places like China for exploited labour just to save themselves some money. Especially when those savings are rarely passed to the consumer. I'm always down for supporting companies like Grado, where they seem to be making smart money saving decisions to help keep their costs reasonable. Wish I could get a pair of these, honestly, they remind me of old 1930s microphones. Look vintage as fuck.

I bought the 80s and watched the 4K blu-ray of Predator with it’s original stereo mix and it was a life changing experience, it was like Jesse Ventura was in the room with me.

My stepdad and I are paramedics. He was one long before me, and all the 1970's sirens have kind of destroyed his hearing - particularly higher end. But he's always been just super into music. Absolutely loves it, will just sit there with his apple dirty buds and listen to albums. And when he visited me this last month, I put the grado sr80x's on his head.

Hardest man in the world and he nearly cried. That piercingly sparkly high end suddenly brought out parts of music he flat out couldn't hear anymore, and hadn't for years.

So of course I gave them to him. Dank made me such a grado convert that I now have 125e's and OG 225's, and a pair of custom built gs3000e's (earphonediylabs, fully custom built set with detachable mmcx cables, $220 all in for an $1800 pair of cans. Deal of the damn century)

Wife and I use the 225/125's exactly how he described when we're traveling. Splitter coming out of the laptop. Movies sound amazing.

God bless grado, seriously. And thanks to Wade here for turning me onto them.

You know at 2008 when i went to college i need a “mobile” headphone and bought an iGrado (i think it’s 49$) without knowing what is GRADO. Best decision of my life.
